Words to live by…… The words we say to others matter. How we say them, the words themselves, and whether we mean them sincerely or not.

Words spoken can’t ever be taken back. I learned at a very young age this lesson. I was brought up in church and really a very good kid with strict parents. I can vividly remember to this day the very first cuss word that came out of my mouth, probably because I was utterly in shock that it happened. I was in the lunchroom at school (7th grade) and I looked in my lunchbox and the word came out. Silly isn’t it – but not really. Once the word was spoken I couldn’t take it back. Those around me heard me and it changed me. I relate it to taking the bite of the apple God told Eve NOT to do.
